If art is our bid to make sense of the senseless, there is hardly more
fertile creative ground than that of the twentieth century. This “century
of trauma” produced writing at once saturated in political violence and
complicated by the ethics of aesthetic representation. Stretching across
genres and the globe—from the trench poetry of World War I and Holo-
caust memoirs by Primo Levi and Eiie Wiesel to the postcolonial novels
of southern Asia and the anti-apartheid plays of the South African Market
Theater—Terrible Beauty charts a course of aesthetic reconciliation be-
tween empathy and evil in the great literature of the twentieth century.
The “violent aesthetic”—a category the author traces back to Plato and
Nietzsche—accommodates the pleasure people take not only in destruc-
tion itself but also in its rendering. As readers, we oscillate between a
fascination with atrocity and an ethical imperative to bear witness. Argu-
ing for the immersive experience of literature as particularly conducive
to ethical contemplation, Marian Eide plumbs the aesthetic power and
ethical purpose of this creative tension. By invoking the reader as com-
plicit—both stricken witness and enthralled voyeur—Terrible Beauty
sheds new light on the relationship between violence, literature, and the
moral burdens of art.
